Ashleigh Miller has landed a riding scholarship to the prestigious Linley Heights School and she's determined to make the most of it. It's an incredible opportunity: at Linley she'll train with some of Australia's best riding instructors at a state-of-the-art facility and compete on the school's polocrosse team. She'll even have horsemanship as a subject in school! Still, it means that once again Ashleigh will be the new girl, and she knows from experience that isn't easy. With a germophobe roommate who's determined to get the school's horse program cancelled, a history teacher who hates her from day one, and a rival rider who's jealous of Ashleigh's scholarship, Ashleigh's got her work cut out for her. She vows there's nothing she won't do to prove herself at Linley, but as her attempts to show she belongs become dangerous, she risks losing everything. For the first time, Ashleigh doesn't have being totally horse mad to fall back on. Could moving away from Shady Creek have been the worst decision of her life?

Ash recovers from her accident and discovers a form of horse training called horse whispering. As she learn the art of horse whispering, she learns to understand not only Lightning -- the horse she was so badly injured by -- but also horses in general. Ash is up against a nasty cyber bully and the growing anti-horse campaign at Linley, and must speak out for Lightning to save him. Ash does, however, overcome her fear of riding, and finishes the term triumphantly moving to Level A. It looks like her scholarship is finally secure. But then her friend Becky is desperate for help. The land that Shady Creek Riding Club uses has been earmarked for development, and lots of the boys have quit horses for football. Ash, Becky, and Pree come up with a brilliant plan -- starting a polocrosse club and kicking off a regional competition. Will it be enough to save Shady Creek Riding Club?
